RADIANT POST PRODUCTION NOW IN MANCHESTER


ABOUT RADIANT POST PRODUCTION


Launched in 1996, Rapid Pictures is an established part of the West London post and production scene. With a growing customer base and increased demand, Managing Directors Ben Plumb and Elouise Carden acquired fellow West London post house, Crow TV in 2017 to create Radiant Post Production.


Radiant Post Production has just opened a new 8,000 square foot full-service picture and audio post house in Manchester’s vibrant new media hub, Enterprise City. The new state-of-the-art facility comprises offline and online suites as well as Nucoda and Resolve grading suites and Atmos HE audio theatres.

Enterprise City which has a fast-evolving media, creative and technology scene, and exceptional workspaces. The area has already attracted a good number of broadcast production companies and other media services businesses with Versa Studios re-energising what used to be the ITV Studios between Quay Street and Liverpool Road. We’re in a prime location on Liverpool Road. “Enterprise City is perfectly located with


fantastic transport links including trains and trams making it easy for our customers and


local team to get in and out. Manchester Piccadilly is only a short walk away. The area’s got just about everything including great restaurants and bars in Deansgate and Spinningfields with a new Soho House just about to open in the old Granada HQ building on Quay Street. It was an easy decision” Managing Director, Ben Plumb
